Correct Answer: Cost price is 30.000 tk
Explanation:
Let, the cost price be x Tk.
Marked price = 120% of x =$\frac{120x}{100}=\frac{6x}{5}$
At 10% discount on Tk. $\frac{6x}{5}$ selling price will be
= ($\frac{6x}{5}$-10% of $\frac{6x}{5}$) = ($\frac{6x}{5}-\frac{10}{100}X\frac{6x}{5}$)=($\frac{6x}{5}$-$\frac{3x}{25}$)=$\frac{30x-3x}{25}$=$\frac{27x}{25}$
Profit = ($\frac{27x}{25}$-X)=$\frac{27x-25x}{25}$=$\frac{2x}{25}$ tk
According to question, $\frac{2x}{25}$ =2,400
x=$\frac{2400×25}{2}$ = 30,000
